The AMC Studio 30 in Houston, Texas closed November 8, 2020.

Located about fourteen miles west of downtown Houston near the intersection of Dunvale and Westheimer Roads, the movie theater originally opened in 1997. Even though all movie theaters are suffering as a result of the nationwide pandemic, this closure appears to be a matter of the lease not being renewed at the end of its term. ABC13 Eyewitness News quotes a representative from AMC:

AMC continues to have constructive discussions with our landlords as we work together to effectively manage through this COVID crisis. This includes reaching a global agreement with EPR Properties, one of our most prominent landlord partners, which was executed on July 1, 2020. In conjunction with that agreement, EPR made certain rent concessions in exchange for other rights, including its ability to terminate up to seven leases. In conjunction with this agreement, AMC has ceased operations at six EPR-owned theatre locations nationwide. AMC Studio 30, which closed at the end of business on Sunday, November 8, is the only AMC in this area impacted as a result of this agreement. Any further questions about the future of this location should be directed to EPR Properties.

AMC truly appreciates the support from its guests at AMC Studio 30, and we encourage moviegoers to continue enjoying the AMC experience at our other Houston-area AMCs.

Moviegoers in the area will need to visit one of the other nearby theaters, including the America Cinemas Houston, iPic Theaters - Houston, and Cinemark Memorial City in Houston. Of course, AMC would prefer that they visit the AMC Fountains 18 instead.
